[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I just don't get this thought process. If you live in the suburbs and live in bounds for school A and move to an area zoned for school B- you go to school B. If you still want school A then you buy a house in that area. There are boundaries for a reason.  I do understand[b] if you lottery as OOB and get in then absolutely you have the right to stay no matter what.[/b] Makes sense. [/quote]

By the same token, if you have a seat at a school because you live in its boundaries, you should have the right to stay no matter what.  What's the difference?  Both students got a seat, but one is allowed to move wherever they want and still keep it?  Why?[/quote]

Really??

Ok here's how it works. Acme School has 100 spaces. 80 of them go to IB kids who live in the neighborhood. 20 go OOB kids who live around the city because there was space for them. The smith family, who has 2 kids, decides to move to another neighborhood. But when they do that, the Jones family, who also has 2 kids, moves into their old house. If the smith kids stay, the school now has 102 students. Meanwhile, the Davis family, who lives OOB, also decides to move across town. The family who moves into their old house doesn't have rights to attend Acme school. So their moving doesn't affect the school at all.

See?[/quote]
